One of the recurring themes in this book is perhaps its interest in a specific form of horror: the vertigo before the abyss, which language relentlessly approaches, testing its edges. In one of his essays on Juan Emar's Umbral, Vásquez (2021) alludes to his "polyphonic conception of subjectivity," a notion that offers a revealing key to understanding his own baroque poetics, with its marked choral roots. In this sense, the words of the Russian theorist Mikhail Batin are pertinent, who maintains that: "To be means to be for another, and through the other, for oneself."
